Location

Google map

The Old Town (Ciutat Vella) can be divided into four main districts: the Gothic Quarter (Barrio Gótico), Barceloneta, El Born and El Raval.

At the lower end of the Gothic Quarter you'll find El Born, Barcelona's trendy vibrant quarter with its maze of narrow winding streets, independent shops, exciting eateries and historical buildings. El Born borders the Park Ciutudella (home to the city's zoo) on one side and the former fisherman's quarter, Barceloneta, on the other.

Property and house hunting: Many of the Old Town's buildings have undergone makeovers in the last decade or so and it has become a popular area for investors. Apartments have been converted into loft-style spaces retaining original features such as mosaic floor tiling, exposed brickwork and beams. Many of the buildings have also been converted into hotels.

Transport: Because of its proximity to Plaza Cataluña, the Old Town is well connected to all areas of the city. As well as the metro (L1 and L3), it has an extensive rail network (FGC, Cercanias, Regionales), numerous bus routes including night buses as well as the terminal for the airport bus (Aerobus).

Shopping: The Old Town is home to numerous small independent boutiques as well as chain stores such as Zara, Mango, Massimo Dutti etc located mainly in and around the busy Portal de l'Angel. You can find some of Barcelona's most exciting up-and-coming fashion designers in El Born and a great selection of vintage clothing shops, new designer boutiques and concept stores in El Raval.

Bars and restaurants: You'll find some of the most interesting bars and restaurants in and around the tree-lined Paseo del Borne as well as more established ones offering cutting edge cuisine such as Comerç 24 and Espai Sucre. Europe's largest food market La Boqueria has some fantastic tapas bars, whilst if fresh fish is what you are after, look no further than the plethora of seafood restaurants in Barceloneta's Calle Joan de Borbó.
